Was raised Pentecostal (very fruit-loopy Evangelical). I don't think it's possible to really know stuff about God and the universe, but I still loosely hold the beliefs I was raised with. Just I'm a socially and fiscally liberal, pro gay marriage feminist and I have serious reservations about the concept of hell.

Welp..I guess that makes me a fruit-loop lol

I was accosted by a pentecostal catholic in Garema Place, Canberra, Australia the other day. And it was plain he was trying to entrance me. He had a well rehearsed trance induction. He was able to avoid anything I said and just proceeded with his trance induction.

Such a trance induction works well with the vulnerable, whether they are children or an emotionally vulnerable adult.

Fortunately I attended a trance workshop at the Australian National University, where, with my permission, I was given the suggestion that I would not allow myself be put into a trance against my will.

Trance abusers, like my pentecostal catholic, seek out the vulnerable to abuse, by entrancing them without their permission.

What is a Pentecostal Catholic? I was unaware you could be both Pentecostal and catholic .Pentecostal is from my understanding a doctrine of oneness and Catholic is based on a belief in the trinity. Anyway it sucks that you had that experience. I myself have never been put in any kind of a trance or have tried to entrance others. That's not something that my organization practices or condones. I mean that’s really out there lol

I'm a Christian, I was pretty agnostic there for a while but then I decided that my religion didn't have to be about other people, just because I believe in something doesn't mean that I can't think for myself, and I don't have to be associated with some of the ignorant groups. So thinking about that, "religion" had a new, positive twist to it in my mind. My religion and spirituality are related, and during my agnostic years, I considered myself spiritual...But I do think I was really lacking in that department unknowingly... Like I felt.. entitled to know all these answers or something, when really spirituality for me does involve a lot of faith, belief, and feelings, much like religion. Growing up in a strict Catholic household, I was a bit repelled by it for a while. But now I understand in my heart much better than I did. Now I consider myself lucky to be a Catholic, but I'm still only half-practicing... I want to be practicing again, and I'm continuing to fight some of the mental battles that come with it.
